The Gove mine was near Mountain Pond, 1.5 miles north of Drakesville, and about one-half a mile north of the Mount Arlington quarries, in Roxbury Township, Morris County.
The mine was first opened in 1874 and worked for a short time and then closed. It was reopened in 1879 and operated until 1881. During this period two shafts were sunk to a depth of 400 feet and a great quantity of rock was raised.
The ore body was 7 feet wide when developed. The ore was rich, but it contained a great deal of pyrite in streaks.
The yield of the mine to June, 1880, was estimated at 11,200 tons.
